I ask students who are making a
search if they ever tried Jesus Christ.
They complain about a list of do's

Church, the money spent on great

feel because eleven months ago I was
using these same complaints. But these
people are not talking about Chris-tianity.
Arnold Toynbee, the famous his-torian,
said, "Most people who are
not Christian have not encountered
real Christianity, rather they have
built a caricature of Christianity and
rejected that." That is what I had
done. I had tried to live the Christian
life through my own efforts and feel-ings,
but finally I gave up in defeat.
Then one day, my friend told me
that God loves me and that I could
know him through a personal relation

that there is a throne in my life and
my ego was on it directing my life.
He said that Jesus was waiting to re-place
my ego on the throne if I would
invite Him to do so. Jesus said, "I
stand at the door and knock, if any-one
hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him."

WHAT DOES the world really need?
What the world needs now is love —
God's love.
It is perfectly natural to think of
yourself first, but a world full
of people thinking of themselves first
is exactly why the world faces the
problems it faces today.
The greatest act of love was when
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth
to die for us. We can either accept
or reject this act of unconditional love.
But the Bible says in John 14:6 that
Jesus is "the way ,the truth, and the
life." Through Him we can have a
truly abundant life on earth and eter-nal
life when we die.
"There are three things that re-main
— faith, hope, and love — and
the greatest of these is love;" (I Cor-inthians
13:13) not the selfish human

(CAMPUS Crusade for Christ has begun
to snake a few waves on Northern's cam-pus.
We have seen people wearing "Smile,
Jesus Loves You" buttons and "join The
Jesus Revolution" buttons. Many ous have
been confronted personally by those in-volved
in CCC. We have read in national
magazines that this new type of spiritual
electricity is rapidly moving throughout the
nation. And it seems that the college age
perpetuators of this "revolution" do have
something to say.
The "EXPONENT" has deviated from
traditional standards of journalistic style
in the following articles for what we feel
is good reason. The very nature of the
CCC movement is one of personal commit-tment.
It is a non-denominational, people-to-
people campaign. Thus, it was decided
that the most effective method by which
the "EXPONENT" reading public could
understand what CCC is all about is as we
have done: an individualistic presentation of
the thoughts of certain Northern students
actively involved and sincerely committed
to the Campus Crusade. CMC)

Aberdeen senior
A FEW years ago, there was a rumor
spreading about that God was dead.
Now that rumor is dead and there
is a large number of students on the
campus of Northern State College who
claim that God is alive and well and
living in their lives. Collectively, thirty-four
of these students are part of an
interdenominational Christian move-ment
called Campus Crusade for
Christ, International.
Campus Crusade was started by Dr.
Bill Bright in 1951 at UCLA. It has
grown to a full time staff of 2,200
members who have involved themselves
in over 400 college campuses and in
41 different countries of the world.
It seems that recently we have been
hearing a great deal about Christian
movements. But what exactly is hap-pening
with CCC? Well, as you are
surely aware, the world is covered
with revolution. Students across the
globe are demonstrating and rioting
against the "establishment," the system,
education and for peace, power and
love. We are faced with monstrous
problems such as the world's ecology,
the ghettos, racism, starvation and
many more. Historians say that this is
the first truly world-wide revolution
in history.
Our generation is very concerned
about these situations. We are all ob-viously
looking for a leader and a
cause to which we can dedicate our
lives.
Someone said, "There will never be
peace in the individual heart or at the
peace tables of the world until the
Prince of Peace reigns supreme in the
hearts of men." I surely agree with
that. Everywhere we see people shout-ing
for peace and they don't even
have peace of mind; they don't know
the Prince of Peace. Many talk about
love but they have forgotten about the
Author of love.
People say to me, "But Jesus Christ
was only a man." He was more than
a man. He can be called history's
greatest revolutionary.
JIM HAUCK, Aberdeen senior be-came
involved in the Northern State
College branch of Campus Crusade for
Christ last spring and has been dedi-cated
to CCC's aggressive evangelism
since that time. Hauck discussed his
work with Exponent editors in a meet-ing

JESUS SAID, "I came that they
might have life, and might have it
abundantly." (John 10:10)
What this verse is saying to me is
that to live the Christian life is not
that hard if I will have total trust and
faith in Jesus Christ in every detail of
my life. I have found that in living
the Spirit-filled Christian life, I have
set my ego off the throne of my life
and put Christ there. As a result I
have been experiencing the abundant
life. Some personal traits of this life
of a Spirit-filled Christian are: Christ-centered,
empowered by the Holy
Spirit, trust God, obey God, show love,
joy, patience and kindness to my fel-low
man. The extent to which these
traits are happening in my life de-pends
upon the amount of trust and
faith I have in Jesus Christ who gives
them to me.

I HAVE found a friend in Jesus.
Before last fall I had never realized
that I could experience a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. I have
always gone to church and Sunday
school and I have even been a Sunday
School teacher. But it wasn't until
this September that I asked Christ to
step right into my heart. There were
no fireworks or bright, flashing lights
but only a happy, satisfied feeling deep
inside.
Everyday seems brighter now. I can
wake up and know that it will be a
great day because I have someone who
is . with me always. And when I do
have a problem or feel a little de-pressed
or have to make an important
decision, I know that I can talk it
over with Jesus and everything always
works out for the best. One of my
favorite Bible passages is I John
5:14-15.
And this is the confidence which
we have in Him, that if we ask for
anything according to His will He
hears us. And as we know that He
hears us in whatever we ask, we know
that we have obtained the requests
made to Him."
I have met many wonderful people
who have helped me along. I hope
to share with others what they have
shared with me. What a friend we
have in Jesus!

I WAS BORN and raised in "the
church" and I have believed since my
baptism at age eleven that I was going
to heaven when I die. Why did I be-lieve
this? Because I had accepted
Jesus Christ as my personal Savior.
Although this is true, I have made an
important discovery in the past year
and a half. I have found that Christ
is not only my Savior after death but
the Lord of my life right now. Even
though I knew before the many pro-mises
that Jesus made in the Bible,
I didn't claim them. I have found that
just knowing about Jesus Christ and
his promises isn't enough, you have to
believe and accept His gift of the
"abundant life." I have found the
